3. Many relationships are based, not on abstract philosphical agreement, but on shared common work:

(1) agree on common objectives and strategies towards those objectives; (2) manifest enough self-discipline to set aside whatever differences are irrelevant to current common objectives and strategies; and then (3) work together on projects that support common objectives and strategies

I can have meaningful relationships with folk who do not share my abstract philosphical views but who do agree with me about what needs to be done and are willing to work with me towards common goals

7. Legitimate education, especially science education.

I'm pretty sure that everyone here is agreed that creationism and intelligent design have no place in a public school education. Both have been outlawed by the courts as not legitimate science.

It looks like we are about to go through a new round on this. The new movement to get creationism into the classroom is the call for academic freedom. This is a smart move for creationists. I support academic freedom; but not when it is just a subterfuge to sneak creationism and intelligent design in through the back door. It could be difficult to support academic freedom and yet claim that it doesn't apply to creationism.
